Pretty little Liars Lookbook Hanna, Aria, Emily & Spencer Outfits

Every Pretty Little Liar has her own unique style, so here is my PLL LookBook inspired by each Little Liar's flare and style! If you want to see these looks in motion then watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9jPQq5S5IA

Emily's style began as casual, comfy and off-course sporty but as Emily's character developed, so did her style. Her style took a grune turn with darker colors, countless flannel shirts and combat boots.

Collage by moi, Emily's photo is from Google images.


Here, Emily layered two tops, a white shirt on top of a black vest and so that's exactly what I did too (Primark). She had on a pink and grey flannel shirt and fortunately for me I owned the same one (T.K.Maxx). Emily wore a pair of skin tight very dark jeans and so I wore my tight leather pants with blue undertones (Republic). I finished off the look with a pair of pink converse (Primark) as the color matches the flannel shirt and Emily loves wearing converse.

Spencer Hastings is the preppy girl out of the bunch. Spencer loves brown belts, bags and boots especially brown leather riding boots. For Spencer a good blazer is a must have, as for her it is a wardrobe staple.

Collage by moi, Spencer's photo is from Google images.


Spencer wore a dress that gives the illusion of a two piece and so I wore a black long sleeved top (Primark). I also wore a navy blue skirt (H&M) which is a similar color to the top she is wearing and is the same cut as her skirt. Spencer had on a long chained golden tribal necklace and so I wore a long chained golden necklace with a tinker bell pendant (Superdrug). Also, I had on a pair of black tights (Primark) like Spencer and I added a blue circle bag (Primark) to pull the outfit together. For shoes I put on a pair of brown boots (Primark) since Spencer is almost always wearing brown boots.

Aria Montgomery's style is the most unique out of all of the liars and the most daring that's for sure. Aria loves to mix and match patterns and prints with a splash of studs here and there. Aria loves to add jewellery to her outfits, unlike Emily who is the minimalist in the group.

Aria wore an orange see-through shirt and belted it and so I wore a red shirt of the same cut, material and style (Primark) and I added a brown belt (Primark) like Aria. Aria had on black skin tight pants and so I wore my black leather pants (Republic). For shoes, I wore a pair of black pumps (H&M) with a leopard print around the ankle because Aria almost always has at least one item with a leopard print to complete her look. For jewellery, I had on a golden bracelet with leaves detail as Aria is wearing a bunch of golden bangles with her outfit.
Here is a blog post on Aria's best outfits on PLL: http://avrilvanes.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/aria-montgomery-best-outfits-from.html

Hanna wore a red jacket and so as I don't own a bright red jacket like hers, I wore this burgundy jacket (Primark) which is a shade of red and I rolled up its sleeves. Hanna had on a tight short black and white dress and I had a similar dress which is also tight short and its color is also black and white (H&M). For shoes, Hanna wore black pointy pump heels and so I wore black pointy pumps (H&M) too with leopard print pattern around the ankle which ties in with the golden zips on my jacket.

Aria Montgomery Best outfits from Pretty Little Liars

 Aria Montgomery is a Pretty Little Liar with eclectic style. Her style is a combination of every style there is with a mix of studs and prints especially leopard print. 

Aria is not afraid of bold patterns as she always mixes and matches patterns and prints together in her outfits. Aria loves statement necklaces and earrings especially feather earrings. She also likes to belt her outfits and wear sky high but unique heels. Aria is the girl that turns fashion risks into fashion trends.

Photo from Google images.
This is a very artistic outfit as one would expect from Aria. The floral pattern is black and white, making it have a photographic affect and we all know how much Aria enjoys photography. The white jacket has a theatrical feel to it as it is a parade styled jacket. The circle skirt makes the look clean and finishes the outfit perfectly.

Photo from Google images.
In this look, Aria is wearing a clean cut white dress with a back cut-out. However, Aria being Aria had to jazz up this simple and classy dress with a black rose belt. The black rose gives the look that dark feel of Aria's style but in a more subtle manner. The black clutch perfectly ties in with the black belt. This look is simply classy and chic!

Photo from Google images.
Here, Aria wore a graphic pastel blue dress with an embellished silver collar necklace. She put on a white leather bicker jacket and a studded belt to toughen up the look. As one can see this look draws inspiration from the Pastel-Goth style but it almost has a comic book feel with the print of the dress.

Photo from Google images.
In this outfit, Aria is mixing metallics with a golden leather jacket and rose-gold skinny jeans. The look has a playful feel to it as she layered a white tank top with a cat face, on top of a lilac vest. The cuteness of the white cat top is what softens the look and soothes the way for the two metallic clothing items being worn.

Photo from Google images.
 Here, Aria is wearing a beaded grey crop top with a high waisted light blue-green circle flowy skirt. This is a very casual but still cute outfit that can take one form a school day to a date night!

Photo from Google images.
Here, Aria wore a pastel blue floral short dress which is adorable on its own but off-course Aria always puts her twist on everything that she wears; therefore she spiced up her dress by adding a brown belt and a brown leather jacket. The oversized circle buttons on the leather jacket feed to the adorable scale but as it is a leather jacket it still adds a hint of rugdness and toughness to the outfit.

Photo from Google images.
Aria here wore a black and white top with a bow tie, which is undeniably adorable and comical but still dramatic as it is the centre of the attention of this outfit. Aria, had on a pair of skinny blue jeans with high black wedge shoes which makes the outfit casually glamorous. The black fingerless gloves is what gives the outfit its alternative and dark feel.

Photo from Google images.
This look of Aria's mixes creepy and sexy together to make up a killer outfit for sure. The spider necklace gives the creepy element but the short black tight dress with the exaggerated silver zip is what makes the outfit sexy. The thigh high burgundy colored socks add a splash of cuteness and innocence to the outfit, which is a perfect contradiction!

Photo from Google images.
This look is the definition of a cool yet casual outfit. The skulls tee and the brown leather short circle skirt go perfectly together, but off-course Aria couldn't help herself  but mix patterns by choosing to hold a patterned black bag. The silver rings make this look chic and the silver chain necklaces contribute to the overall toughness of the look.
Which Aria outfit is your favourite?

Get Hanna Marin Style - Pretty Little Liars Lookbook

Hanna Marin sure is a pretty little liar with impeccable fashion sense and style. Hanna may be afraid of A but she sure as hell is not afraid of color! Hanna practically lives in high heels and she is always dressed up to the beat in a feminine manner. So here is my incarnation of some of Hanna's best outfits and if you want to see the looks in motion here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l04B72CUf8E

When trying to get the style of a character you have to keep in mind that it is not about going on a shopping spree but it's about working with what you already have in your closet.
Look in your closet and pick out garments that are similar to the character's outfit or you can do an inspired outfit where you pick out clothing items that scream the character's personality and style.
Now, here is my Hanna outfits for y'all!
Hanna Outfit 01:

 Hanna wore a red jacket and so as I don't own a bright red jacket like hers, I wore this burgundy jacket (Primark) which is a shade of red and I rolled up its sleeves. Hanna had on a tight short black and white dress and I had a similar dress which is also tight short and its color is also black and white (H&M). For shoes, Hanna wore black pointy pump heels and so I wore black pointy pumps (H&M) too with leopard print pattern around the ankle which ties in with the golden zips on my jacket.

In this look Hanna wore a see-through mesh light green-blue top and I also wore a see-through mesh top which is grey (Primark). Hanna had a black jacket on and a tight black mini skirt and I also wore a black jacket (Primark) and a tight mini black skirt (Primark). For shoes, Hanna wore black strappy shoes and so did I (New Look). Hanna had a brown bag but I decided to go for a grey bag (Primark) as it goes better with the Hanna outfit.
For jewellery, Hanna had hoop earrings and a long chained necklace; so I wore silver hoop earrings (Boutique) like her and a long pearl necklace (Primark). The necklace is long like Hanna's and because its a pearl necklace it's feminine like Hanna's style.

In this outfit, Hanna wore a lilac top and so did I (Primark). She also wore a pair of skinny peach jeans but since I don't own any I went for a colorful pair of skinny jeans which are teal (Primark) that also go with the lilac top. Hanna had on a cross body purple bag and so I also had on a cross body bag which is light mint green (Primark). For shoes, I wore a pair of black pointy pumps (M&S) as Hanna loves a High Heel.

The pointy pumps have a leopard print pattern around the ankle which ties in with the color of the sweater.

A new season means new trends, so here I've broken down the hottest summer trends of 2015.

Leather Harnesses- As I predicted in my fashion trends predictions for 2015 blog post, harnesses are the accessories to own this season.

Latex- Fetish and Bondage inspired clothing are in as I predicted in my fashion trends predictions of 2015 blog post. Latex is the 'it' material of choice for the designers, as we've seen this on the Dior catwalk where the models were wearing latex high heels. Also, The designer Atsuko Kudo is known for her latex clothing and she's the go to designer for many celebrities such as: Kim KardashianRita Ora and Laddy Gaga. Also, Taylor swift and her friends all wore latex and other fetish clothing items by Kudo in the Bad Blood Music Video.

Grunge Gothic Alternative OOTW

Fashionably late, always on point, surprisingly glamorous and never forgettable. These are the factors that make up these outfits that I present to you today, so enjoy! Ohh and if you want to see my outfits in motion click the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kop2I5-SdEg

Garden of Eden and its Phantom: Golden skulls and bones are our harvest, so what's yours?.


In this look, I have on a black top with golden skulls (Boutique), a black belt with golden studs (Primark) and a black tight mini skirt (Primark). I also wore a pair of thin black tights (Primark) and a pair of black ballerina flats (Primark).
Tip: Just because it's the summer time does not mean that you cannot wear tights in the warm weather. For example, a simple pair of thin black tights like mine in this outfit can add a dash of class to the outfit.
For jewellery, I have on a golden belt (Primark) as a form of harness/necklace and a bracelet with golden studs and black roses (Republic).

In The Spirit of Love: Fallen but never forgotten, as the purpose will never change as destiny and fate will reunite again.


Here, I'm wearing a black shirt with studs (Primark), a black tight mini skirt (H&M), a pair of thin black tights (Primark) and a pair of black ballerina shoes with laser cut-outs (Primark).
Tip: An ankle bracelet is a great jewellery piece especially for the summer time. It is also a great way of spicing up your bikini outfit this summer holiday.
For jewellery, I have on golden spiked earrings (Republic), a bracelet with a silver wing pendant (Primark), a matching silver wing ring (Claire's) and a golden wings ring (Republic). I also have on an arrow ankle bracelet (Primark).

Gold is Rose: Making rose gold the new nude.


Here, I'm wearing a nude colored jumpsuit (Primark). The black lace on this jumpsuit makes it versatile as it can be worn during the day or night time. For shoes, I am wearing leopard print ballerina flats (Next) with a black bow.
Tip: Do not shy away from darker colored clothing items in the summer time, as long as the material is lightweight and breathable then there is no fear behind your choice.
For jewellery, I have on my dearly beloved black lace chocker which I DIY'ed, a gold rose necklace with a crystal pendant (Debenhams) and a pair of gold rose cross earnings (Republic).

Ruggedly pleasant: Tough is the exterior but love is the interior, forever and always.


For this look, I wore a black top (H&M) a denim jacket (H&M) and a pair of bleached jeans (Oxygen). For shoes, I put on a pair of black leather combat boots (Primark).
Tip: wearing denim on denim can form a great look if done correctly. For example by selecting the same shade or completely different shades of denim.
For jewellery, I wore a black buckle chocker which I DIY'ed and a black beaded bracelet with a silver cross (Republic).

Which look is your favourite?

Summer Night Lookbook Gothic Grunge Alternative

Summer nights, city lights, lo
ud laughs, booming sounds and dancing crowds. These nights are unforgettably eventful but off-course with such nights glamours and memorable outfits are needed and that's where I come. So here are some outfits to inspire you when picking out an outfit for the night! If you want to see those looks in motion click on the video, what are you waiting for?!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0viT8ABH0z4

Reminiscing The 20's: 1920's cameo embodied in fringe in an oh so modern twist of a look.




In this look, I am wearing a black vest top (Primark) and on top of it is a bright pink floral lace top (Primark). I have on a mini tight black skirt (Boutique)  which I DIY'ed. The silver safety pins give the look a tougher look and the black fringe is a blast from the 20's, off-course. For shoes, I have on black ballerina flats (Primark).
Tip: Do not be afraid to re-purpose jewellery like what I did here with two ear cuffs that I wore as mid finger rings.
For jewellery, I'm wearing a black lace chocker with an oversized silver safety pin which I DIY'ed. The chocker ties in with the skirt as they both have silver safety pins. I also have on a silver ring which is shaped and carved as a native american man's head (Republic). I also have on two silver ear cuffs but as rings one that has leaf attached to it and the other a needle (Primark).

Secret Thief: lace is the choice of camouflage.




For this look, I wore a black lace crop top (Primark) and under it is a peachy-nude vest (Primark). I also put on a black lace piece as a belt around my waist. The skirt is flowy and matches the nude color of the vest and it has beautiful black lace on top (Primark). I also wore a pair of fingerless black lace gloves (Claire's), thin black tights (Primark) and black ballerina flats (primark).
Tip: When picking out a nude clothing piece, make sure that it matches your skin tone. Do this by holding the piece against your skin, so your wrist for example.
For jewellery, I kept it simple and minimal as the floral black lace throughout the outfit is very overpowering visually. So, I had on a black lace chocker that I DIY'ed which ties in with the look and a pair of statement gold earnings (Sports Direct, I think?).

Elegance is the Mystery: what does it take to solve this puzzle and determine what she holds that has the allure of elegance.



Here, I wore a royal blue lace dress (Primark) which I DIY'ed by cutting some of the blue underlining fabric so that only the lace would show half way through my thighs and knees. For shoes, I went for a classic black pointy pump (M&S).
Tip: If you are short do not wear shoes with belts around your ankles as that cuts your legs and makes you appear shorter.
 For jewellery, I wore a silver spiked up necklace (Boutique) and a pair of silver spiked earrings (Republic).

Fierce Fire: Fire is cooler than you think



For this outfit, I wore a red-orange lace crop top (Primark) to which I added the silver pins. I put on a thick black belt which ties at the back to form a cute bow and wore a black skirt (Thrifted). For shoes I wore black strapy heels cause its summer time (New Look).
Tip: Go for a nude nail polish that matches your skin tone this summer. Why? Because nude is one of the hottest trends and it is a neutral; so it goes with any outfit you wear. Thereby, you would get rid of the hassle that it is changing your nail polish to match your clothes.
For jewellery, I wore silver spiked necklace (Boutique) a silver spiked bracelet (Republic) and a pair of silver earrings with black stones that have a red undertone to them (New Look).
